Remote unauthenticated low-complexity token that reliably yields a spoofed valid method (I:H, no C/A impact); AC:H and S:C are defensible since real smuggling needs a fronting proxy desync, but I align with the vendor's isolated-primitive rating.

Summary
RtspMethods.valueOf() silently strips trailing control bytes (any character with code point <= 0x20, the full range that String.trim() removes) before performing a cache lookup against its ten pre-populated method constants. A wire-delivered RTSP request whose method token ends with a trailing control byte - for example PLAY\x00 or PLAY\r, immediately before the separating space - is decoded by RtspDecoder as a fully successful PLAY request, with decoderResult().isSuccess() true and request.method() RtspMethods.PLAY (same object reference as the cached singleton). The application layer cannot distinguish this from a clean PLAY request.
This is the same root cause as #16723 and #16971, in a sibling that those fixes did not reach. The fix for HttpMethod hardened HttpMethod.valueOf() directly, but RtspMethods.valueOf() has its own independent checkNonEmptyAfterTrim() call that runs before the cache lookup - meaning a trailing-control-byte token hits the cache before the hardened HttpMethod constructor ever sees it.

AnalysisAI
Netty's codec-rtsp component silently normalizes away trailing control bytes in RTSP method tokens, so a wire request whose method token ends in a byte with code point <= 0x20 immediately before the separating space (for example PLAY\x00 or PLAY\r) is decoded as a fully successful PLAY request with decoderResult().isSuccess() == true and request.method() referencing the same cached singleton object, leaving the application layer unable to distinguish it from a clean PLAY. This is a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity integrity flaw (CVSS 3.1 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) affecting any product that embeds Netty and exposes an RTSP listener, including the Red Hat components named in the advisory such as AMQ Broker 7, AMQ Clients, Quarkus, Camel for Quarkus 3/Spring Boot 4, Keycloak, JBoss EAP 7/8, Single Sign-On 7, Data Grid 8, Fuse 7, Debezium 3, and Apicurio Registry 3. …

| Risk Assessment | Vendor (Red Hat) CVSS 3.1 is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) - a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity network flaw with pure integrity impact (C:N/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was specified in the available intelligence for this CVE; Red Hat tracks the issue via https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-93565 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2536952, and affected users should monitor those pages for the fixed Netty codec-rtsp build and apply it once released, since the underlying correction belongs in RtspMethods.valueOf() (validation must occur before the cache lookup, matching the earlier HttpMethod hardening). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all RTSP listeners and deployments of Netty codec-rtsp and the listed Red Hat products (AMQ Broker 7, AMQ Clients, Quarkus, Camel for Quarkus 3/Spring Boot 4, Keycloak, JBoss EAP 7/8, Single Sign-On 7, Data Grid 8, Fuse 7, Debezium 3, and Apicurio Registry 3), identify internet-facing or untrusted-network exposures, and block or restrict public access to RTSP endpoints; within 7 days, deploy interim controls that reject RTSP method tokens containing trailing control bytes (code point <= 0x20) immediately before the separating space at the proxy, WAF, gateway, or application layer, validate that such controls make downstream behavior consistent, and increase monitoring for anomalous RTSP method usage; within 30 days, re-scan all affected assets, apply any vendor-released update as soon as it is available, and update secure configuration baselines and SDLC checks to enforce strict RTSP parsing, noting that no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis for CVE-2026-93565.
